(The following notification comes from the National Law School of India Review)
The National Law School of India Review (NLSIR), the flagship journal
of the National Law School of India University (NLSIU), Bangalore is pleased to
announce the VIIth NLSIR Symposium on “Bridging the Security-Liberty
Divide” scheduled to be held on December 21 and December 22, 2013 at
the National Assessment and Accreditation Council (NAAC, opposite NLSIU Campus,
Nagarbhavi) Conference Hall, Bangalore. The decade following September
11 has been dubbed “liberty’s lost decade”, not just for the United States
of America but for the world at large, marked by increasing tension between
State interests in national security and individual liberty. As we continue to
grapple with the implications of this clash, one clear winner seems to be
emerging, best observed by examining changes in legal systems throughout this
decade. The recent upsurge of criticism against NSA activity globally, however,
could be seen as indicative of a changing trend. The VIIth NLSIR
Symposium seeks to trace this dialogue between competing notions of security
and liberty, and hopes to assess and analyse similar developments in
India.
